Then we will still see more traffic
jams after the ERP fees go up and more jams where previously there
was none like in Sin Min or Thomson. This kind of murky traffic
solution packages are being marketed to the world despite more jams
being caused with higher ERP fees.
Now the minister will say he needs more time as not all the
solutions are yet finalized holistic is what he said) or even
thought about by the million-dollar ministers.
The Singapore Government has a deeper
relationship with the Myanmar Junta then what is seen on the
surface and known publicly.
It is amazing that Jane's Defense magazine was able to uncover the
regular electronic surveillance flights conducted by some purpose
built RSAF plane, flying in international airspace up the Malacca
Straits to land in Myanmar, before making a return journey down the
same flight path.
With its own citizens the ministers
will be denying every surveillance reports or keeping quiet like
the NKF malpractices going on for years, fire risks in wet markets
or Hougang but let's see this time what ministers will say to deny
US government's satellite surveillance reports of Singapore
government's deep involvement with Junta.
If relation is not thick, how could
the Myanmar non-government personalities move so freely in and out
of Singapore without any interference from the Singapore
Government, when these people are known by Interpol and US Federal
Narcotics Bureau to be involved in the drug trade ?
Ironically, a Singapore Lawyer was permanently detained under the
Criminal Detention Legislation, and his recent attempts to have the
Singapore High Court to strike down the Detention Order was
denied.
This Legislation allow the Home Affairs Minister to issue an order
for the detention of any one deemed as a criminal threat, and will
be locked up without evidence being produced, nor charges for
conviction by the Judiciary.
This is called Singapore's version
of Rule of Law (My laws) when citizens have to obey drug laws but
government does not have to obey the same laws just by quoting
selectively some other sections of the law that their
interpretations are out of the law like RAF needs training ground
and air-space and there is no choice but to exchange some space for
drug monies being deposited or invested in our Singapore
banks.
So the Interpol's reports are either non-factual or are not
applicable to sovereignty issues or RSAF. What kind of Rule of Law
is this?
The detained Singapore Lawyer was
charged for being the Master Mind of an International Drug
Operation, but no evidence was produced nor was he formally charged
for a trial by the Singapore Judiciary.
He was simply locked up and only to be released sometime in the
future and at the discretion of the Home Affairs Minister.
If those known Myanmese drug dealers can move so freely in and out
of Singapore, while a Singaporeans is locked up for the same
circumstance - the relationship surely must be as deep as the ocean
floor.
Can we expect any truth to be heard from the Parliamentary
''grilling'' ?

This difference in treatments
between the above-stated case of a lawyer being locked up for
involvement in drugs without trial whereas and the drug kings'
repeated exchanges of benefits and depositing drug monies in some
banks without queries should have been put up as a more relevant
topic for recent discussions at the International Conference of
Lawyers on Rule of Law as practised in Singapore where MM Lee
insisted that Singapore is among the top countries with biggest
accountability and rule of law and professor Jayakumar was quick to
say Singapore achieved higher social cohesion through practice of
rule of law.
It looks like a person has two mouths to talk and everything said
about rule of law in Singapore depends on selective comparison or
some other different interpretation of law.
Where are all the lawyers now ? Do they agree we have a true
interpretations of law or interpretational Rule of Law in Singapore
in our drug laws (RSAF), fire-risk laws (Hougang Fire) or company
laws (NKF)
